suit and defraud them of the debt, by name of Stephen Brunno
citizen and gjocer of London, administrator of William Berkhani
citizen and <2rrocer deceased intestate, he is suing- a bill in the 'Gihaldc'
chamber of London against the said John, averring that on 4 October
49 Edward III in the parish of St. Thomas the Apostle London by
writing indented the said John granted that ho would give up to the
intestate all bonds etc. whereby he was bound to the said John and
William de Lubbenham, and that the intestate should go quit without
impeachment or arrest of body or goods at their suit, upon condition
that between that date and Allhallows then next or eight days after

done the suit for debt upon the said bond, which had been carried
to judgment in the king's court, would be brought to nought, craving
remedy and the kings aid, the king being aware that it was not
lawful or reasonable that a matter pending in his court, or auglit of
substance affecting the same, should bo treated in a lower court, or
that any of the parties should be compelled to answer in such lower
court; and being assured by view of the record and process, produced
in chancery, that the matter touching that bond was pending as
aforesaid, by the said writ ordered the mayor and aldermen to stay
the suit for delivery of the bond while the plea of debt was so
pending; but the said John and W^illiam de Lubbenham appeared
not before the said justices, but made default, and so the plea of
debt is no more pending in the king's court, as appears by the record

the damage thereof not exceeding 10 marks, that Thomas, scheming
of malice falsely to aggrieve the petitioner and many others of the
people of those parts, charged them with the destruction thereof,
though they are not guilty, and prosecuted his suit against them
with so much rancour that by duress, threats and the fear of death
they were compelled severally to make recognisances of the statute
staple for divers sums to him payable, that contrary to his oath to
trouble none save such as were guilty, the said Thomas after prose-
cuted his suit against the petitioner and others so tound, causing
them to be imprisoned etc., until by extortion and oppression ;he
levied of them 200 marks, and that complaint being made to the
king in the parliament last holden at Salisbury, the said Thomas
was sworn before certain lords to make them amends, and thereafter to
prosecute no suit against them by colour of such recognisances or any
other cause above mentioned, that appearing in person before the
king and council the said Thomas did not gainsay, the charge laid

the realm and cutting off strife, it was ordered and agreed with assent
of the prelates, lords and great men that any person who should feel
aggrieved by reason of any trespass committed in the said insurrec-
tion, and should purpose to sue thereupon, should begin his suit
before the quinzainc of Midsummer then next, or be for ever barred,
but that the said Thomas is now unlawfully suing execution of the
said 20^ of the lands and chattels of the petitioner, contrary to that
statute; and John Chekewelle and John Cady, both of Manytre,
have mainperned in chancery for the petitioner, that at any da}' set
by the king or council he shall be ready upon reasonable warning
to answer the said Thomas, whom with assent of the council the king
has committed to the Flete prison until he shall find a mainprise

sometime of Richard Sony of Derteforde, at a rent of 20 marks a
year during the life of the said Reynold and Margaret, performing
the services due and accustomed in repairs and otherwise, so that if the
rent should be one month in arrear and sufficient distress should not be
found upon the premises, it should be lawful for the lessors to enter
again and hold the same in their first estate, thrusting out the lessees,
that of his own head, without counsel, knowledge and assent of the

conditions they never consented, namely that if the said Walter might
yearly deduct 81. from a yearly pension of 48Z. which the lessors
were bound to pay to John Dene clerk for life, then the lessees
should be discharged of 10 marks of the said yearly farm, that if he
might deduct other 10 marks therefrom they should be discharged of
tho whole rent aforesaid, that because the prior on seeing those con-
ditions said he would not seal the indenture, the said Walter contented
him by an oath upon his faith and good conscience, promising with
divers other oaths that he would never attempt to diminish the said
rent, and for greater security gave his bond in 2001. payable to the
lessors and their successors if he should ever make such attempt;
and further acknowledgment and promise that he has never purposed
nor attempted, nor is now minded so to do, nor will so do in time
to come, especially as John Dene died shortly after, without whom the
said conditions might not be fulfilled, and that thcj lessors are discharged
of the payment aforesaid by his death, and not by the said Walter's
means. Dated London, 4 September 10 Richard II.

Letter of the king to the pope, reciting that former kings, princes
and faithful men of the realm did build and endow churches, and set

fell upon good land, yielding some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and
some an hundredfold, but that in these days putting their hand to
the plough they have begun to look back, and the land" bears thorns
and nettles, while by imposts, provisions and reservations general
and special made by the papal see, not for appointment of fit shep-
herds but to heap up first fruits and rob the realm of treasure, false
shepherds and hirelings are entering the fold, Christ's sheep are a
prey of wolves, the pious alms of the kings etc. aforesaid pass to the
pleasures of the unworthy, freedom of election to cathedral churches
and elective dignities great and small, collation whereto at every
vacanc}' pertained to former kings, who at the instance of the papal
see granted free election by chapters provided they should first crave
licence of the king to elect and his assent afterwards, which grant
Avas by the papal see confirmed, is now of little or no effect, that if
one cathedral church be void five or six bishops are translated 'in
order that he who leaps highest may pay most abundantly and
Caesar's image be brought into the house of God, that the abuse of
provision and reservation has gone so far that dignities and the
fattest benefices with and without cures are conferred upon aliens,

thorn known, that sometimes chvcllors in the realm do enter upon offices
of tlie church contrary to the canons, not having- their vocation of
God like Aaron but inflamed with ambition with Simon Magus, and
that men of letters manifestly fitted for the cure of souls and to profit
the king and realm by their counsel public and priv'ate, having no
hope of advancement, abandon their studies at the universities, the
number of the clergy is diminishing, and learning is dying out, that
former kings made statutes that elections should be freelv made as
aforesaid, that alien persons who would not or might not reside within
the fcalm should not be admitted to benefices, and ecclesiastical
persons having the right of patronage should use the same according
to such ordinance, adding penalties to be executed upon such as
should rebel, notwithstanding Avhich the griev^ance has increased,
wherefore in the parliament last holden at London grievous complaint
■was made by the lords and commons requiring the king, in accordance
with the oath taken at his coronation that he should preserve the
rights of the crown and the liberties of the realm and church, to cause
tiic said statutes to be observed, and praying the pope as successor
of the chief of the apostles, who took upon him the command of
Christ to feed his sheep and not to shear them, to comfort his brethren
and not to oppress them, pondering the premises and the devotion
and obedience of the royal house, the clergy and people of the realm,
to do away the scandals and perils above rehearsed, so that the king and
his people, being desirous to reverence the person of the pope and the
church of Rome, may have rest from these burdens not to be borne
which oppress the shoulders of his children, and may enjoy their

same, to the liberties, honours or favours accustomed to doctors in
theology in the order duly made and approved by examination of
the order and of the universities, or suffering him to use and enjoy
the same, but order to entreat and rule one who procures and uses or
will use and enjoy such degree and graces according to his knowledge
and conversation and to the rule, statutes and discipline of the order,
having no consideration for provisions, exemptions etc. so obtained;
as the said order is founded to resist and extirpate heresy and error
contrar}' to the law of God and the catholic faith, and for preaching
and instructing the people
concerning
the said law and faith, to
accomplish which is required ripe knowledge, honesty of life and learn-
ing in divinity, and in times past friars of the order were used to be
therein examined and approved among themselves and in the univer-
sities of Oxford and Cantebrigge, and ought j^et to be, and so to be
advanced to the degi'ee of master; and now the king is informed that
certain friars of the order not approved nor instructed in the divine
law, but apostate, notorious evil livei-s, and condemned by the order
to imprisonment for evil living, pass the sea and craftily obtain by
fraud the degree of master and other graces dispensing therewith,
that they may return to the realm and bo among their brethren
honoured and favoured as masters of the said faculty, to the hurt of
the church, the breach of the catholic faith, the prejudice and scandal
of the king and realm and the shame of the order, and the king will
not cndui-e tiiese things, which redound to the prejudice of the church
of England, the king and people, and in process of time are like to
subvert the said order. By pet. in pari.

making payments by oversight and assent of John bishop of Salisbury

Ram, that he demised the same for a term of years to Richard

him out the defendant made a feoil'ment in fee simple to Simon de

shews that, among other lands of Simon de Bureleye, the premises are
seized into the king's hand by force of a judgment against .him
rendered in the parliament lately holdcn at Westminster; and after

abbey of Holy Trinity and St. Katherine upon the Hill Rouen, that
all priors are and ought to be elective by the abbot and convent, that
the abbey is within the realm and power of France, and that by

none other for weighing and cocketing their wool than are demanded
and taken at the staple of Westminster, and so behaving that no
second complaint shall reach the king's ears; as the merchants' com-
plaint contains that the mayor and constable, scheming of malice to
vex them and with mouths wide open for their own gain, are un-
lawfully demanding new customs, not paid in times past, for weigh-

because of the treaty of friendship between him and the Genoese the

he was a long Avhile in peaceable possession thereof, until unlawfully
thrust out by colour of the second inquisition aforesaid, without that
that John Kogos the son had any estate therein at his death, or that

sheriff of Dorset to give the said Bichard notice to be in chancery at a
day now past to shew cause Avhereforo the king ought not toi remove his
hand and deliver the issues taken of that manor to the petitioner; and
the petitioner that day appearing in chancery in person, and the said
Kicliard by John Asplioun his attorney, the petitioner alleged that the
said Philip and John Forde were seised of that manor long before the
death of John Hoges the son, and continued their seisin until they
gave the same to him, and that he was thereof seised until thrust out
by the late escheator, without that that John lioges at his death had
an estate therein or in any parcel thereof, or that it is iield in chief,
but said further that it is held of Guy de Briene and not in chief;
and granting that it is held of the said Guy, the said Richard said
that John Roges the son was thereof seised at his death, as he was
ready to prove; and William de Hornby suing for the king said that
the manor is held in chief, and that John Roges the son was thereof
seised at. his death; and the parties craving that inquisition should

next the keeping of the said manor, by name of the manor of Cook-
felde, among other lands of the said Robert who forfeited to the
king; and at the said John's complaint, shewing that altiiough by
virtu(! of the duke's gift he had and continued possession of the said
manor no small time, by virtue of the king's grant without process
of law the countess thrust him out, and praying for remedy, the king
ordered the sheriff to give the countess notice to be in chancery at a
day past in order to shew cause Avherefore restitution ought not to
be made, the king's grant notwithstanding, and the sheriff returned
that he caused John Durward steward of the liberty of St. Edmunds
to have the return of that writ, the manor being within the said
liberty, who answered that he gave the countess notice by John
Baldewen, William Taillour, Edmund Fullere and Peter Everard;
and at that day the countess appeared by Henry Maupas and Simon
Gaunstede her attorneys, and John de Routh by John de Garton,
and the countess alleged that she held the manor by grant of the
king and without him ought not to answer, craving the king's aid,
whereupon a day was given the parties in the octaves of St. Martin
last, and John de Routh was told to sue meantime with the king for
licence to proceed, if he should think fit; at which day John de Routh

the deforciants rendered the premises to the plaintiff for life with
remainder to Ralph his son and Joan daughter of Richard de la Pole
citizen of London and to the heirs male of their bodies, remainder to
the plaintiff's right heirs; and learning by averment of Thomas
Basset clerk, son and heir of Ralph Basset of Weldoun knight as he
avers, that the plaintiff is dead, that Ralph the son and Joan died
without male issue, and that contrary to the form of the said fine
Richai-d Basset has entered and holds two thirds of the said manors
and the advowson, and John Clisseby and Eleanor his wife one third
of those manors, the king lately ordered the sheriff of Norhampton
to give notice to the said Richard, John and Eleanor to be before
the said justices at Westminster in the octaves of St. Hilary last in
order severally to shew cause wherefore the premises by them severally
held ought not to remain to the said Thomas; but upon the finding

Ralph Basset of Weldoun knight, son and heir of the said Ralph and
Joan it is said, at his death held the said manors by name of
Weldoun and Weston upon Wylonde in chief, and that the said
Ricliard, a minor in ward of the king, is his son and heir, the same
are taken into the king's hand, among other lands of the deceased,
by his death and by reason of the said Richard's nonage, so to remain

age to render to them their lands entire, or at least as he received the

said Tliomas and Thomas, averring that in the court of the city

Gell of York for a debt of 8/., and recovered the same and dam-
ages, that for execution of that judgment a ship with goods therein
■was delivered to him, but that at suit of the said Richard, aver-
ring that ship and goods, being in an arm of the sea in Yorkshire
within his admiralty, were taken and carried away by the said
Thomas and Thomas, and that cognisance of that cause pertained
to the admiral and his lieutenant by reason of their office and
to none other, the said admiral and lieutenant commanded the
said Thomas and Thomas to be taken in order to appear bcforo
theii» at Gaynesburgh co. Lincoln to answer according to maritime
law, haling the said Thomas and Thomas before them to a plea in
the maritime court, and proceeding by maritime law, for that it
appeared to the king and council in the last parliament that the com-
mand of the admiral and his lieutenant and the process in the mari-
time court was derogatory to the common law and annulled the
execution of the judgment aforesaid, with assent of the council the
king commanded the admiral and lieutenant altogether to stay the
holding of any plea before them in the matter and any execution, not
compelling the said Thomas and Thomas to answer before them; and
learning aftei on behalf of the said Thomas and Thomas that not-
withstanding his command the admiral and lieutenant did proceed,
rendering judgment against them, and in contempt of the king un-
lawfully condemning them in no small sums, the king commanded
the admiral and lieutenant altogether to stay execution of their judg-
ment, which was bad and rendered in error, not troubling the said
Thomas and Tliomas in their persons, goods or property, commanding
the lieutenant to be in j>erson before the king and council at West-
minster three weeks after Easter last, bringing the record and process
of the said judgment with all things which concern the same; and by
virtue of the writ by him received, as he expressly acknowledged, the
said Hugh did that day appear bofore the council in cbanccry, bringing
the said record and process, and there delivered up the same, affirming
that he proceeded in due form in the admiralty court according to
maritime law. and rendered the judgment therein contained; and the
same being there before the king and council read, heard and under-
stood, after full deliberation it seems to the council that it is to the
prejudia' of the king, his crown and regality, and derogatory to the
common law which by his oath the king is bound to preserve, re-
dounding to oppression of the people and extortion, that cognisance of
such pleas pertains not nor may pertain to the admiralty, or to the
admirals, their lieutenants or deputies, or to their office, nor may or
ought they to have power, jurisdiction or cognisance therein, and
upon his confassion aforesaid it is determined that the lieutenant bo
cdmmitted to the custody of the king's marshal until he shall make
fine at the king's will, that the said record and process and the judg-
ment so rendered shall be of no force to charge the said Tliomas and
Thomas or one of them, their sureties or mainpernors, but that they
all shall be thereof discharged and acquitted.

king and council wherefore restitution of the premises ought not to
be made and livery given to the said feoffees, when no man appeared,
it seemed to the justices and Serjeants of law, being in chancery, that
the seizure thereof was insufficient.
Juno 22. To the sheriff of Lincoln. Order to put Thomas Pykwelle again in
Westminster, possession of the hospital of St. Thomas the Martyr upon Staunforde
bridge; as it is contained in the statute published in a parliament of
the lat(! king holden at Westminster that thenceforward, whensoever
that king should collate or present to a benefice, examination should
be made of his title so to do, that in what hour before judgment
rendered the same should by good information be found untrue or
bad, such collation or presentation should be revoked, and that the
patron or possessor who should shew and prove such title false should
have the needful writs in chancery; and upon petition of the said
Thomas, master of the said hospital, shewing that he was put jn
possession thereof by collation of Henry de Overton late abbot of
Peterborough, but that Walter Stechesworth, scheming to disturb
him, by untrue averment obtained the king's collation as warden of
the same, and was unlawfully suing the said Thomas for possession,
■willing that justice should be done, the king ordered the sheriff to
give the said Walter notice to be in chancery at a day past in order
to inform the king and council of the king's title to collate, if any,
and to shew cause wherefore his collation ought not to be revoked,
and the sheriff returned that he gave him notice by Richard 'o the
Hill' and Thomas Skynner, both of Staunforde; at which day the
said Walter appeared by John Clerk his attorney and the said Thomas
in person, and the said Thomas alleged that after the king's writ was
obtained he was without process of law put out of possession by the
said Walter, who by his attorney could say nought to the purpose
wherefore restitution ought not to be made, wherefore after deliber-
ation with the justices, the Serjeants of law and others of the council
learned in the law it was determined that Thomas should again be
put in possession, and that the said Walter may sue him by a qume
impedit, if he shall think fit.

office, tliat the same were of the said John, who for insurrection and
seduction lagainst the king and people was beheaded; and by
another inquisition, after taken before Robert Sibthorp late escheator,
it was found that by a judgment rendered by the king's justices at
Lewes the said John was there beheaded on Friday after the Nativity

on that day and at no time before had he any estate in the land in
Bokstede save as tenant at will by demise of John Edward late

issues and profits of the manor until tlic lawful age of the heirs, and
that then the feoffees should enfeoff the heirs, finding that the feoff-
ment was made by fraud and collusion, to bar the king from the ward

tliat the said Robert held divers lands etc. in Kent which are seized

England the king lately caused proclamation to be made in the city
of London that all natives and aliens who for the public weal and
for relief of the realm would bring thither wheat, corn or victuals
might sell the same without payment of custom or subsidy; and the
said petition shews that, in hopes of being discharged of custom and
Bubsidy, those merchants laded in Prucia and brought to London no
small quantity of wheat for relief of the inhabitants, that by com-
mand and authority of the mayor another proclamation was there
made forbidding any baker to buy wheat of any man until that al-
ready bought for the common weal of the city was delivered, and
that the merchants therefore dared not and might not yet sell their
w-heat, praying licence to take 300 quarters thereof to Bordeaux or
Baioun as aforesaid, therewith to buy and purvey wine to bring again

of so small price and value and so rotten that they think it will be
lost, if not speedily sold and delivered; and Frowyn Stepynge, Henry

whereby the said Edmund acknowledged tho right of the said Roger,
and the deforciants rendered the manor to the plaintiffs and to the
heirs of Edmund's body, with remainder to Richard de Berners and
to his heirs, the tenor of which fine was sent under sealof the king
to Robert de Cherleton and his fellows and shewn in evidence to
the jui'ors, that b}- virtue thereof the said Edmund was seised in
foe tail, the said Amice as of freehold, that Amice died, that from
Edmund the manor descended to Ralph his son and heir, from him
to John his son and heir, and from him to James his son and heir,
who was thereof seised in fee tail by form of the §aid fine at the
time of a judgment against him rendered in the parliament holden at
Westminster on the morrow of the Purification 11 Richard II,
and died so seised, that by reason of his forfeiture and by virtuie
of that judgment the same was seized into the king's hands, that

who was within age, namely ten years and upwards, that at the time
of his forfeiture and death the said James held the manor of the said
bishop as aforesaid, and that since his death the ward of the said
Richard and of the manor has pertained to the bishop; and upon the
bishop's petition, praying livery of such ward, and the issues of the
manor taken since the said forfeiture, the king ordered the sheriff to
give notice to John Innocent and John Notyngham the king's clerks, to
whom the king committed the keeping of the said manor by name
of the manor of Bernersbury which was of James Berners who for-
feited to the king, to be in chancery in the octaves of Michaelmas
last in order to shew cause wherefore livery of the said ward and the
issues aforesaid ought not to be given to the bishop, and the sheriff
returned that he gave them notice by John Canon, Robert Bolton,
John Straunge and Edmund Braghwynge; and at that day the said
clerks appeared in person and the bishop by John Asplioun his
attorney, and the clerks alleged that they are tenants of the manor
for a term of years by grant of the king, and without the king ought
not to answer, craving the king's aid, whereupon a day was given
them on the morrow of All Souls last, and the bishop was told to sue
with the king for licence to proceed, if he should think fit; and at
that day the bishop appearing by his said attorney produced the
king's writ of privy seal de procedendo, with proviso that the chan-
cellor should not proceed to rendering of judgment without advising
the king, wherefore in tho quinzaine of St. Martin last the bishop
brought another writ of privy seal directing the chancellor to
proceed to render judgment; and at that day the said clerks aver-
red that the bishop ought not to have restitution, ibecause by
the judgment rendered in parliament it was determined that all

by the said fine the manor was granted in fee tail, without that
that after the judgment aforesaid the king in fact caused the

he answered that he repaired to the abbot, brother Peter, John
Hiller and the prisoner, and the abbot answered that the prisoner
is his neil pertaining to his manor of Pyrforde, that the abbot and
all his predecessors time out of mind were seised of the prisoner and
his ancestors as of neifs of that manor, and that the abbot is keeping
him in prison because he is rebellious and disobedient to the abbot's
commands, wherefore the sheriff might not replevy him, nor execute
the king's command; and the prisoner has prayed the king for
remedy and deliverance, feeling aggrieved especially because he is
a free man, and ready to prove his freedom; and the said Ralph and
the others have mainperned in chancery body for body and under a

for eight years he shall answer to the mayor and burgesses for
the extent of the weirs over and above his wages, fees and rewards
as fully as he was bound to render the same to the king; as for
good and ready service to the late king and to the king in divers
offices and warlike expeditions in Ireland at his great cost and
travail, on 15 July 13 Ricliard II the king granted to the petitioner
for life the keeping of Lymeryke castle and the king's weirs there,
with the wages, fees, rewards and other profits to that office per-
taining, rendering yearly at the exchequer of Ireland the extent
of those weirs to be made from time to time at the king's pleasure
by his officers or ministers, and of the issues and profits so long as
he shall be keeper thereof taking by his own hands his wages,
fees and rewards, which exceed not the value of 101. a year

situate upon the frontiers of the king's Irish enemies, and is ill
fortified with a wall for defence against them, because the walls
have almost fallen to the ground as the king was informed, by
letters patent of 13 July 14 Richard II the king granted to the
mayor and burgesses for eight years the profits of the 'lexwere'

granted and the profits of the 'lexwere' are one and the same, but
that by colour of the later grant he is thrust out, praying for
remedy; and the king is aware that in the later grant he wa|s
deceived, not being then informed of the grant previously made.

Meath, by name of Adam Naas clerk, that they shall suffer the king
to present to the said archdeaconry with the parish church of
Nobur annexed; as in the statute published in a parliament of the

title so to do should be examined, and in what hour before judg-
